About Jonathan Larsen
The Fucking News is the weekday-morning newsletter of journalist Jonathan Larsen, aggregating, contextualizing, and commenting rudely on the day’s news.
My goals with TFN are to screen out bullshit that doesn’t matter, help navigate bullshit that does, and surface bullshit you might not otherwise know about.
My intent is to keep Newsfuckers sane, sometimes with humor, sometimes explaining why media frame the news in ways that make people unsane. I’ve worked in corporate media and alternative media. Both are in trouble, so now I do The Fucking News.
In the year since I launched it, the number of subscribers has, appropriately for The Fucking News, sextupled.
